Out for our morning stroll, there was a garage sale a couple of blocks from home. By Saturday morning there wasn't much left, except a box of Stanley adjustable wrenches, a box of Klein dikes, lineman's pliers, a box of Klein needlenose, four Klein flat blade screwdrivers, some cable cutters...

Ryobi battery-powered tools, batteries and chargers have given me problems since they became a thing. No, I'd never buy Ryobi myself, but over the years, because it's at Home Depot, family and friends have given me a lot of it as presents. Most recently, the 48-volt leaf blower had the handle...

The TS-297/U multimeter was a heavy-duty unit used by US Army and Air Force techs for many years. I had two of these and gave them away, forgetting the manual which should have gone with them. Am doing the GJ pay-it-forward, so the manual is free to a good home, just pay the postage. jack vines

Scrolling through craigslist today, I saw a '50s Craftsman 100 benchtop DP, "needs motor" listed for $360. FWIW, I've never paid more than $100 for a complete working bench DP; maybe that was then and this is now. jack vines

Preaching to the choir here, but at least once a week there is a generic, only occasionally a Snap on, top chest, advertised for sale as a "ROAD CHEST" or "Road Box". The for true Road Chests are the Snap on KRA 60, 62, 6200, 6210 series, built hell-for-stout and only 26" wide, to stand up...

Recently, a 20-amp circuit breaker servicing standard duplex outlets kicked out for no obvious reason. I unplugged everything on those outlets, reset the breaker and plugged each back in in turn, finding no tells. A few days later, the circuit breaker kicked out again and this time, wouldn't...

What happened while I was getting old? For all my life AC motors were 1725 RPM. Recently we repowered an air compressor with a Century 5hp motor and the data plate says 1730 RPM. jack vines

Having a garage sale today and had a bunch of bench grinders, air compressors and a fan lined up. When traffic was slow, I read motor data plates. For the dual voltage motors, below is the 115-volt: 1/4 horsepower - amps 3.5, 3.8, 4.2, 5.2 1/3 horsepower - amps 3.3, 4.3, 4.3 1/2 horsepower -...

For sale locally. Anyone have experience with this DP and can confirm COO? A quick search indicates the light alloy Reeves drive pulley always breaks and replacements are not available any longer from Delta. jack vines

I was asked to look at an older IR ChargeAir Pro 5hp horizontal tank compressor. The data plate on the motor is so faded as to be unreadable. Questions: 1. It came with an unusual horizontal blade plug. and the capacitor on the motor is labeled 115-volt. Unusual for a 5hp motor to be...

https://spokane.craigslist.org/tls/d/ponderay-52yr-tool-collection/7320213646.html I always wonder if these ever sell as a lot and if so at how much of a discount. One might guess most times, they end up having to part it out. jack vines

FWIW, I've researched Chamberlain and Liftmaster, but found all the recent WiFi, et al, bells and whistles to be more problematic than beneficial. Too many reports of random openings. I read all three pages of...
